Those with Mental Disorders in Recovery
Please no fighting as we all have our journeys. Anyone is welcome I only asked if you were not in recovery you just read and not post. No advice is given here
PRANOIA…. That is my main overlap in both illnesses. I can crave with one and not the other. I can have rapid cycling with one and not the other. I can have drunk dreams with out the other and I can have shopping mania without the other. But paranoia. Both readily come with each one. 
So recognizing the crossover, I feel it comforting g to have a link. I only can not identify what illness it is being triggered by. Paranoia can make someone drink and it can also create anxiety. Either way, they are presentin both.
The reason I’m expressing this is to encourage those who suffer from both to really think about your crossovers. I made it easier for me to fiend peace when I accepted paranoia in both areas. It’s hitting a two for one.
I’m sober and medicated properly for 16 years. 17 in November. Once I had paranoia come to my awareness. It really soothed my mental well being.
What is your crossover?
